A healthy liver is essential for overall well-being. In astrology, liver-related issues are believed to arise from imbalances linked to specific planets and houses in the birth chart. The liver is located on the right side of the abdomen, and in Vedic astrology, it falls under the domain of the fifth house. Since the liver sits close to the pancreas and regulates digestion, any disturbance here can affect metabolism, energy levels, and emotional health. This is why liver disorders often bring both physical discomfort and mental stress.

According to astrological principles, a weakened Jupiter increases the likelihood of problems such as liver disease, jaundice, obesity, diabetes, and even certain cancers. Let’s break down the astrological factors connected to liver disorders and the planetary situations that may trigger them.

Astrological Indicators of Liver Disorders

In astrology, Jupiter governs the liver and pancreas. These organs are associated with the fifth house, and liver-related complications often arise when Jupiter is afflicted or weak in the chart. Both the fifth and ninth houses play a key role in determining liver health. Zodiac signs Leo and Sagittarius are particularly sensitive to issues connected to these areas.

A person may face liver problems if Jupiter is troubled anywhere in the birth chart. When the fifth or ninth house experiences distress, recovery also tends to slow down.

Common astrological combinations that point toward liver disorders include:

• Jupiter directly influences the liver and pancreas, so any affliction to Jupiter reflects on liver health.
• When the lord of the fifth house occupies the sixth, eighth, or twelfth house—even temporarily—it can lead to liver problems.
• Liver issues may arise due to the positioning of Jupiter and Saturn in the Navamsa chart.
• Liver disease becomes more likely when Jupiter is afflicted by Saturn or Mars in the sixth, eighth, or twelfth house.
• If the lords of the fifth or ninth house are in conjunction with Saturn, Mars, Rahu, or Ketu, liver-related diseases may follow.

Harmful Planetary Combinations for Liver Health

Since Jupiter rules the liver, an afflicted Jupiter creates high vulnerability to liver-related disorders.
Other combinations include:

• If Jupiter is under Saturn’s influence or in conjunction with it—whether in the fifth house or elsewhere—liver problems become likely.
• When the lord of the fifth house is in the sixth, eighth, or twelfth house and under the impact of malefic planets.
• Jupiter and Saturn positioned in the ninth house or placed together in the Navamsa chart.
• Conjunction of Mars, Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu with the ruler of the fifth or ninth house can result in conditions like jaundice.
• In severe cases, if the fifth and ninth houses from the Navamsa ascendant are afflicted by Mars, Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu and Jupiter is placed in the sixth, eighth, or twelfth house while under malefic influence, the disorder may escalate.
